Which of the following statements refers to ego psychology?

a. Therapist empathy and client introspection are the cornerstones of this psychology. The fact that the counselor is non-judgmentally trying to enter the clients world encourages the client to talk about feelings otherwise hidden, even from self.
b. The therapists approach is one of neutrality, abstinence, and relative anonymity, which people sometimes confuse with aloofness.
c. Through absorbing and processing the clients negative feelings without retaliation or abandonment, the counselor models a relationship that can survive them.
d. The counselor assists the client in loosening rigid defense patterns and employing a broader and more appropriate range. When energy is not consumed by defensive operations, it can be deployed in other, healthy ego functions such as tolerating frustration, planning toward goals, and exploring identity.
e. The counselor helps the client manipulate his or her circumstances so that the client builds in reinforcements for desired behavior.
